VILLAGE VOICE: BEST BROOKLYN GALLERY

PERU ANA ANA PERU: OCTOBER 17

...AND THEN WE JUMPED INTO THE ABYSS OF NUMBERS:
Memories in Absurdity From the Bowels of Peru Ana Ana Peru
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

You’ve seen it on the streets – just a black square with white text. Two names, a mirror image of themselves. These discreet signs of whoever or whatever refers to itself as PERU ANA ANA PERU are backed up by an eclectic collection of ornately designed pieces of artwork-- pasted, fastened, scribbled or dangling to your left or right.



WHO ARE THEY? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? We are often asked these questions. PERU ANA ANA PERU's use of different mediums is a treat if you enjoy such things and will certainly cut up a neat freak looking to compartmentalize them. Well we may not have all the answers you've been searching for, but we do have their first solo show and hope to bring you as close to their identities as you have been so far.

"...And Then We Jumped into the Abyss of Numbers: Memories in Absurdity From the Bowels of Peru Ana Ana Peru", is the title of their exhibition. A bit long? --Maybe. Very telling? --Yes. Their "abyss of numbers" will explore the unknown, the bizarre and the surreal through multi-media paintings/drawings, sculpture and installations. Video art pieces telling strange narratives will be a key focus of the work and will offer viewers yet another peek into this duo's collective psyche. This work, harmonious with a gallery space, is also intimately connected to their street presence. At their request, we dizzily revel in the irrational.

As a much added bonus, the soundtrack to the opening night event will be performed by BOMB SQUAD [Hank Shocklee; Future Frequency]. The force behind Public Enemy and some of the most significant albums of all time with a preview of the new upcoming album of futuristic dub and live electronics.

. . . "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY". . .

MALCOLM X sought truth and action at all costs. He
launched an uncompromising attack on society’s most firmly
held injustices and proved, in doing so, the possibility of
overcoming any obstacle to accomplish any goal.  He is
unparalleled as an icon for self-betterment and the serious
cultivation of one’s identity and belief system. 

A dedicated, gifted, and legendary organizer of people,
Malcolm X always spoke to enlighten, to challenge and enrich
the beliefs of even his most dedicated followers.  He always
moved forward, acting at every step to build his vision.

Any artist would do well to LIVE by these ideals. . .

An artist’s identity is always growing, outward and inward, into
the future and back to the beginning.  And at the beginning,
we were KIDS. Free-spirited. No preconceived notions.

Kids love to create. We need to give them a chance to
think about what art can be -using more than just conventional
materials to express themselves ... "By Any Means Necessary".

All over the world, it’s important to recognize and encourage the
independence of thought and capacity for free association all
kids excel at. . . and we, as adults need to hold on to.

We are joining together our local Brooklyn youth and the
youth from YOUR neighborhood to showcase some great young

PRINCE PAUL TO ADD AUDIO TO VISUALS

PRINCE PAUL TO DJ THE OPENING RECEPTION OF:

MISS BUGS / JOE BLACK
"2 MANY ARTISTS'
OPENING RECEPTION APRIL 4th, 19:00
BrooklyniteGallery.com

Prince Paul has punched numerous holes through hip-hop. He joined Stetsasonic in 1984 as their DJ and later started producing and remixing artists like Big Daddy Kane, Boogie Down Productions, and Fine Young Cannibals. Through his inclusion of irreverent skits on De La Soul’s classic Three Feet High & Rising (one of the most creative, striking production jobs in hip hop history) he influenced the shape of every hip-hop album afterward, making the rapper’s sense of humor a major vehicle of putting your personality on wax.



After De La Soul, he teamed up with the RZA to form Gravediggaz. Still untouchable and unsurpassed, that music is essentially on its own plane. His solo album, Psychoanalysis (What is it?) is like nothing else in hip-hop and everyone should hear it. More recently, his incredibly diverse work from Handsome Boy Modeling School through his controversial “Politics of the Industry” has shown his ability to work with artists as far ranging as Cedric and Omar from the Mars Volta and Alec Empire. His latest work is Baby Elephant, an epic, harmonious interaction with legendary Parliament Funkadelic keyboard genius Bernie Worrell. Though extremely humble, he is consistently a gauge of what heights hip-hop may aspire to and will be live at Brooklynite April 4th.

REMED & ZBIOK "OWN THE BROOKLY(NITE)"

Simply put... last Saturday night belonged to two artists--- Remed and Zbiok. No matter what borough of NYC (and even some east coast states for that matter) you are from-- most were represented and braved a bit of a chill to see the exhibition entitled, "IT HURTS".

REMED spent the early part of the week leaving his mark throughout Brooklyn in a big way. Vibrant color & large scale murals with subject matter uniquely REMED can now be found on Malcolm X Blvd. in Bed-Stuy and Bergen Street in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (and we suspect other places too.)

At the gallery, Zbiok and Remed cleaned it up a bit and showed us they are not 'one trick ponies.' Both artists' exhibited works that showed a style and subject matter refreshingly new to New York City, which was also the prime reason for their pairing. Music producer MUX MOOL performed his special brand of lo-fi hip-hop which proved to be the perfect soundtrack for the night.

"IT HURTS" is meant to be an acknowledgment that everybody feels things strongly, that each of us is viscerally affected by people and events near to us. But even halfway around the world, a person or event can hit us like a force of nature. Loving someone so much it feels like an entity unto itself, feeling an overwhelming urge to change the world - nothing can make you more vulnerable, but nothing else will go as far as to amplify your joy.

Come see for yourself as the show runs until March 22nd. Gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday 1-7 pm. A or C Train to UTICA AVE.

NEWSFLASH - IT HURTS

IT HURTS

REMED / ZBIOK
February 28 - March 22

OPENING RECEPTION
FEBRUARY, 28th 7-9PM
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A troubled economy, a planet in peril, a new leader taking the helm …so many questions left unanswered … IT HURTS

Brooklynite Gallery however, will pass on the government bailout in favor of something better. Instead we present— ZBIOK and REMED, "IT HURTS" our new exhibition a.k.a. gallery-size healing force.



Parisian street artist, Remed takes every style past its due date and makes it fresh. Art Nouveau and "Free to be You and Me" graphics of the seventies are made strikingly contemporary. If you were to synthesize into a single body of work, the "New Image" of the early eighties with the graffiti writers who entered the New York art world around the same time. . . . Remed would emerge. Experienced with a limited time frame for execution, Remed solves color interactions quickly and accurately. The English language is manipulated with formidable typographic skill and a vicious sense of style. You know Remed is special when you see his transmutation of the curved arms of the French avant-garde. He's paid his dues, he's dubbing over history.

"Addicted to color". . . Polish street artist- Zbiok makes work that can have the same effect on its viewers. Rooted in post-Iron Curtain Poland, he has ties to punk and hip-hop, but his work looks like no other artist's associated with either. The feel of eighties graffiti is there as an intangible, not limited to any one visual cue. His imagery is far reaching in the sources of influence it indicates. Sometimes matching a political sensibility to his electric colors and pop savvy, Zbiok's pieces are immediate, while inviting longer meditation on their full complexity. In a recent interview he noted the influence of music on his work, highlighting his all-inclusive scope as "jazz to death metal." His characters and iconography feel refreshingly alien to American street art thus far.

"IT HURTS" is an acknowledgment that everybody feels things strongly, that each of us is viscerally affected by people and events near to us. But even halfway around the world, a person or event can hit us like a force of nature. Loving someone so much it feels like an entity unto itself, feeling an overwhelming urge to change the world – nothing can make you more vulnerable. But nothing else will go as far to amplify your joy.
